Perceptions of women and men in mixed-race heterosexual relationships.

Although the number of mixed-race couples is increasing in North America, these couples continue to experience stigma and discrimination, which can have deleterious effects on individuals in these relationships. In three samples, we examined perceivers' first impressions of targets in mixed-race couples when viewed with their romantic partner versus alone, including their warmth and competence (Sample 1a), global morality (Sample 1b), and specific stereotypic behaviors including likelihood to betray, conform, and be prejudiced (Sample 1c). Partner effects occurred for specific stereotypes relevant for intergroup behaviors such that individuals in mixed-race couples were rated as more likely to betray close others and to be less conforming and less prejudiced than individuals in same-race couples when viewed with their partners.

Implementing Ecological Momentary Assessment in Audiological Research: Opportunities and Challenges.

Ecological momentary assessment (EMA) is a way to evaluate experiences in everyday life. It is a powerful research tool but can be complex and challenging for beginners. Application of EMA in audiological research brings with it opportunities and challenges that differ from other research disciplines.

Older adults' perceptions of ageism before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objectives: Studies assessing the effects of ageism on older adults during the COVID-19 pandemic suggest that perceiving ageism is associated with lower self-reported mental and physical health. Yet, it remains unknown whether these pandemic associations are distinct from pre-pandemic associations. The present study addressed this issue by controlling for pre-pandemic levels of ageism and mental and physical health in order to assess which pandemic-era experiences of ageism predict well-being in older people.

A Scoping Review and Field Guide of Theoretical Approaches and Recommendations to Studying the Decision to Adopt Hearing Aids.

Objectives: Given the low rates of hearing aid adoption among individuals with hearing loss, it is imperative to better understand the decision-making processes leading to greater hearing aid uptake. A careful analysis of the existing literature on theoretical approaches to studying these processes is needed to help researchers frame hypotheses and methodology in studies on audiology. Therefore, we conducted a scoping review with two aims.
